This is Lee Habib, and this is our American stories, and we tell stories about everything here on this show.

From the arts to sports and from business to history and everything in between, including your

stories.

There are some of our favorites.

Our next story, well, it's one about service, love, and sacrifice.

Let's follow Eileen Hall's incredible journey across Europe as she searches for her husband

Eileen was a member in the Women's Army Corps, or WAC. We got together with Eileen and her daughter, Sherry, who both live in Canton, Ohio.

So it's a long time, that's 75 years ago, you know, so I'm trying to remember. A lot of it I'll never forget,
